  1. I'm not sure what category I would put Wout in, but I guess sprinter is as good as any.   I think Wout could be a GC guy if he had team support.  My totally casual and uninformed opinion is that he wins the Sprints/Green Jersey on stages that the true Sprinters suffer on.  He's the best sprinter out of the guys that can actually go up hill without imploding.

    Want to see what Kuss can do this year.  Dude has a motor and now he's more experienced.

     

    Don't really care about Vingegaard, he's up there in the most punchable face category.

    Yes it’s crazy that we would talk a a lot about one of the best players in the CWS in the CWS thread.

    Didn't Crews (sp?) just win that award?   And he's definitely playing, right?   But fuck that guy, talk about a player that might play a third of the game, heck he might start, do you think he should start?

    As a prospect for the MLB Skenes certainly has a case. On college performance absolutely not.

    I don't know about you guys, but I think the important thing here is that we constantly talk about Skenes

  4. Debated whether or not to share this, but here goes.

    I live in a nicer area and on bulk trash days we are swarmed by recyclers and resellers going up and down the streets hunting for golden trash to scrap or resell.  I don't really care for the trucks and trailers but I'm glad they are repurposing stuff that would otherwise end up in the land fill.   Well the other day I was driving home with my daughter (who is heading off to college in the fall) and I see an acoustic guitar laid out on top of some trash bags. It looked intact so I stopped and pulled it off the pile.

    This will become art in one way or another...

    My plan initially was to have my daughter paint it up and use it as a wall hanger in her dorm... Gotta fill those big white walls somehow.  However my first impression is that it actually sounds pretty good, but make no mistake it's literally a piece of junk.  I haven't even checked to see if I can get it in tune, some of the tuning pegs feel frozen and if it's just going to hang on the wall then it's not worth the bother.

    But now I'm trying to get her to make it a performance art piece.  If we can tune it up/ unstick the tuners have her take it on campus and learn a soulful tune.  Then take it out to the quad/union and perform her little campfire song and then WHO smash the fuck out of it in front of a crowd then walk off. (she is shy, but might do this for the lulz)

    So either way, it should be a worthy project.  This is it after a quick wipe down, and yes those are cracks running down the body.   It's a Vespero made in brazil and has a serial number 1207...   Feels very light, resonant and loud.

    What's the verdict?

    Putin’s options-

    1. Pull the required military resources to quell this from Ukraine and risk a big breakthrough in the Ukrainian counteroffensive. 
    2. use Kadyrov’s Chechen…no, I can’t complete the thought. Kadyrov is too much of a clown. His “forces” are thugs, not soldiers. They might be useful in slowing down Wagner, by dying, if they could be made to actually engage. Which is questionable. 
    3. Let the domestic forces try to stop Prighozin, knowing they are more “police” than “army”. 
    4. Cut a deal with Prighozin. Purge Shoigu and make Prighozin #2. (If that seems crazy, prior Russian #2s have beeen Rasputin and Beria). 
    5. Make a more credible nuclear threat against Ukraine to hold them back while option 1 is pursued?

    6. Quote Don Meredith (on a Cowboys charter in danger of crashing in a storm) “Boys, it’s been a good ol good ‘un”, slug back some vodka and put a bullet in his brain  

     
    Am I missing anything?

    Profit ???

    I think we have a winner for The Florida game cookoff!  I used to like to try and cook whatever the other team's mascot is.  Buffalo Burgers for Colorado oh so long ago was fun, but a baby gator is probably pretty good if done right. And would be fun for gameday!  Thanks for the link on this purchase.

    I've never had Gator that tasted even remotely decent.  It looks interesting, but I think the joke will be on you trying to eat all that...  Maybe make it into a smoked gator dip, but otherwise no thankyou.

    What if Putin offers to fire Shoigu, give his job to Prigozhin, and let him run the invasion of Ukraine?

    That's untenable for both parties...  Also how would Prigozhin talk his troops to quietly head back to die in Ukraine instead of being part of the ruling entity in Russia?

    How would Putin be comfortable giving Prigozhin MORE troops, equipment, and power.   Then explain it away to the russian public and oligarchy?   

    There's no unwringing this bell, unless it was all a ploy to get Ukraine to jump (I don't think that's what's happening here - Spoiler alert, I don't know shit)

    Bullseye.

     

    Sure but if the choice is having BOTH or just Gotti, you take just Gotti.

    I have no illusions that Russia will finally turn the page and join the modern liberal world...  I think they'll just keep being a klepto-oligarchy that aims to be marginally palatable to western business interests so they can continue to exploit natural resources and peoples for ungodly wealth.

    The only “good” outcome we are sure if from this is that every Russian or Wagner soldier or piece of kit that gets taken out is one less that can be used in Ukraine.

    And MAYBE some Russian military units will abandon their positions in Ukraine to get in on the action at home, or simply to avoid getting killed in an uncertain, pointless war.

    But what we’ve know all along is that there are ZERO options for good leadership in Russia. There is no voice of reason there to save them. “And then it got worse.”

    We can just hope that we and Ukraine can play the chaos to our advantage. And that Russia consumes itself with fire.

    it's the internet and Reddit...  But apparently the Ruskies have started destroying fuel stocks on the approach to Moscow (which is also fuel needed for the Ukraine war)
